IL became quite interesting now.
Z" wonder what they leave US here for" said
another.
At this moment Mai. Blynn. of nv battalion
came from the woods, and we expected the
order TO follow with the horses But no such
order came; all he had 10 say was that he was
hurt, and we should bring him his horse and
lead him 10 the hospital. He held his arm
across his body and walked in a STOPPING po-
stion. musket-ball had passed through his
abdomen. So he could not have been in COM
mand Of the regiment at Appomattox Court
house, as Comrade Wiles tells us.
Zip, zip! oh, they get too thick now!
Our horses, that stopped their heads too the
same as We did, commenced kicking and dane
ing. There was no more rest in them. Some
were hit already; but we had no order 10 leave,
and therefore we stood.
There, now that was a Johnny who hustled
from one tree 10 another. BIZ! That was
his card he sent me.
Bang! went my seven-shooter,
TO RETURN HIS COMPLIMENT.
This very moment Gen. Davies appeared d.
rectly behind me and gave warning TO us that
we were fanked. the enemy coming round this
way. He said We should get our horses out OF

The buZzing and pattering Of bullets was
now TO such degree that ii resembled the
noise caused by the first hailstones before a

The horses were led away in direction that
made me the hindmost man, aud thinking
about the ID take the hindmost," did my
level best 10 push on.
But il all took its proper course There was
no quicker way to get out Of range than 10 wait

The woods in front Of me were perfectly
damned with horses, for il is a miserable lob al

AT this moment one Of my horses got hit and

thus the first man on the extreme right of our

yards. We watched every noise that came
from the direction in which our men had dis

Now we heard the yelling of the Johnnies,
which was so peculiar that it could not be mis-
taken; and right after this the sharp and quick
reports Of the Spencer carbines i'm the hands of
our comrades. Our boys were firing in volleys
that signifed that the enemy was in strong
numbers.
Now we heard the hurrah of our boys, which
meant that they were charging on the Johnnies.
Then the scattering fire OF musketry was heard,
which told US that the enemy they had TO deal
with was infantry-Pickett's Division, as we
ascertained afterward.
Stray bullets few our way, but high over

The noise Of the empty saber scabbards, the
rafting Of the carbines, and the sound Of the
horses hoofs made striking music.

Immediately in our front he turned himself in
the saddle, swung his saber, and the Buglers
sounded the charge"
1t lasted only few moments, this exciting
spectacle! We heard the thunder of the horses
hoofs as they galloped on. We heard also the
loud reports of four pieces of artillery. Then
we saw the ground scattered with dead and
dying soldiers and horses.
This was Clusters famous charge at Dinwid-
die Courthouse. The battery was silenced be-
cause it was captured, aud our horses were ours

some years ago was thrown violently against
the life line, and the injuries received resulted
in an ovarian tumor, which grew and enlarged
until death seemed certain. Her physicians

rebel infantry. Why they lay there inactive
could not understand. They could have taken
all of us prisoners if they had tried, but maybe
they knew that we could not get away. At any
rate, kept away from that fence. Several of
our men, however, who got too close to them
were taken in.
At last / struck road. A boy in Bugler's
uniform met me here. i recognized him; it
was Eddy" the son of the Captain of Co. III.
He was weeping and asked me for water. On
my inquiring whether he was wounded, he
said:
mo; but my father; there he lies! !"
He stepped 10 the side of the road q little
way and pointed to the ground. There was
touching group. Under little dogwOod tree,
stretched on the grass to die, lay the Captain, a
man of about 80 or 40 years. His youngest son,
who was down on his knees by his right side

Der of men tOgether-enough to charge on the
rebels, who were now also pushing upon US.
But he failed.
We were not going TO sacrifice our horses
again. What good could we 80 or 40 men do on
this open field before Us and the rebel infantry
under cover of the woods? The rebels saw US
and opened on US with battery, but the charge
went too high. We cleared the road, never
theess.
At this moment we heard the sound of bugles
TO our left, and looking in that direction, our
hearts filled with joy! A brigade of mounted
cavalry was coming toward us on a sharp trot.

Of the principal papers of London
comment as follows; The Morning

The Daily NetOs says: "Seldom has
